Simple Drill and Tap Chart - INCH


Every tool site has a Drill and Tap Chart. They are stuffed with lots of useless information and are often so small you need a magnifying glass to read them. Here is a simple and concise version that should be useful on a phone or tablet. These tables are for National Thread, Imperial (inch) organized by Course, Fine and finally Pipe threads. Your eyes will thanks me later! If you need a size not listed better hit up Google!
